I'M ANNABELLA
My mission is to empower women to lead, innovate, and thrive, transforming the world around them with their strength, talents, voice, creativity, and resilience. Years ago, I found myself seeking a way to escape the pressures and limitations I felt working in the legal profession. That journey led me to Marrakech, Morocco—a place of vibrant souqs and serene mint tea, where I discovered the tranquillity I needed and subsequently called home for 17 years.
Now, I divide my time between the picturesque Dorset Jurassic Coast in the UK and my beloved Marrakech. As a board certified Master NLP coach and clinical hypnotherapist, I'll help you unlock the confidence and clarity to break through personal barriers and elevate your success, just as I've guided countless women before you.Â
​
As a passionate advocate for women without a voice, I had the privilege of serving on the board of AMAL, a non-profit in Marrakech that creates opportunities for disadvantaged women to thrive. Married to my husband Youssef for 24 years, I’ve well and truly immersed myself in the rich culture of Morocco and its inspirational people, and it would be my absolute honour to share this with you. While also helping you to experience a lifechanging breakthrough.
​
Join me on this journey of self-discovery, where you'll release what's holding you back and step fully into your power. Together, we'll uncover how truly extraordinary you are in every way.
​
I am excited to welcome you to a retreat that promises transformation, connection, and lasting empowerment.

Â
AND I'M SELEENA
Â
I bring a unique blend of adventure, community spirit, and a passion for cultural connection!
After leaving the corporate 9-5 behind, I found a new life in Morocco, filled with adventure and meaningful connections. I’ve dedicated myself to helping others—whether transforming education, creating immersive experiences, or planning enriching retreats. My deep love for local cultures and languages, paired with my experience in community building, allows me to navigate diverse paths and nurture lasting connections.
In the aftermath of the 2023 Morocco earthquake, I took an active role in recovery efforts, working closely with local communities to rebuild and provide essential support. This experience deepened my commitment to empowering others, particularly women, by helping them find their own resilience and confidence.
At this retreat, I’ll guide you on a transformative journey to break away from conventional paths, build your inner strength, and reconnect with your purpose. I’m excited to share not only the Morocco I’ve come to love but also the insights and community spirit that will support you on your own path to growth and empowerment.
"Your life will be so much better from experiencing Annabella's magic!"
